Babies Movie Analysis
Last week, we watched a movie called “Babies”. This movie is talking around four babies through their first year after their birth. Through the movie, you can see how babies develop in different cultural backgrounds and living areas.
Ponijao comes from Opuwo, Namibia. Bayar comes from Byanchandmani, Mongolia. Both of them come from the rural area. The area they live in is close to the natural world. Both of them have one or more than one sibling to play with. They learn the world from the nature, and from their daily lives. In the movie. In the movie, you can see their parents do not focus on them all the time. Their parents will not take them out to play or teach them, even celebrate the birthday.
Mari comes from Tokyo, Japan. Hattie comes from San Francisco, the U.S. They live in the urban area. The area they live in is as similar as where we live in right now. They are the only child in their families; they stay at home and play with the toys more than walk out of the house to make the new friend. Also, they learn things through the book; the nearest way for them to know the

However, after watching the movie, I know in different countries, people have a different system of raising their babies. Such as at the end of the movie, the baby who lives in the rural area, their parents do not look after them, they play outside all the time. In the urban area, the parents stay around their babies, and they protect their babies all the time. They bring their babies to the zoo or to the park. I think the reason to explain this difference is, the rural area always is safety and purity; the baby will not get attacked. However, in the urban area, it is common to have only one baby in a family, and in the urban area the baby is easy to get attacked by different kinds of transportation or

    This documentary by Thomas Balmes was created to immerse viewers in different parts of the world to show how different cultures take care of their babies. The documentary takes viewers to Namibia, Mongolia, Tokyo, and San Francisco so that they can experience the middle of nowhere, as well as organized chaos in the city. The babies that are featured in this film are Ponijao, Baryarjargal, Mari, and Hattie. Ponijao was raised in a small rural village and is shown as soon as the film begins interacting with her siblings in a play-fighting fashion. She was born months earlier in the middle of her Namibian village, with no hospital or Western medicine that the viewer is aware of.…

    The film showing in Epworth and Owston Ferry in July was ‘The Child Killers’ depicting a true episode of the invasion of France. The support film was a Keystone Cops comic! As noted earlier the obsession with fifth columnists in England meant that spy pictures were very popular. One such was ‘The Spy,' a two-reel drama furthering the belief that German spies were everywhere. Another was ‘The Deadly Model,’ a drama about the German Spy System in London, but by far the most chilling drama shown during these summer months was ‘The Mad Dog of War.’…

    Swing Kids Movie Analysis

    • 911 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The 1993 drama “Swing Kids” starring Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale is overall a very good movie. The film is set in Nazi ruled Germany in the year 1939 and tells the incredible story of three boys and their love and fight for swing music. Swing Kids is a remarkable display of directing and acting talent. Thomas Carter's eye for camera technique lends the feeling of actually being alongside the characters throughout their struggle. From the moment the movie began with a remarkable dance sequence, to possibly one of the most dramatic and heart wrenching final scenes in movie history, I was unable to take my eyes away from the screen. The emotions that Swing Kids delivers to the viewers range from happiness and excitement, to anger and sadness. I highly encourage all that have a passion for good film to sit back, relax, and enjoy “Swing Kids”. I give Swing Kids two thumbs up, and a 9/10.…

    According to the documentary “Babies,” there were many scenes in the film that most clearly demonstrated the interconnectedness, the similarity in all human behavior. For instance, when the babies from the urban and rural areas, even though they grew up in different environments and are from different backgrounds, they showed the same capabilities in all human behavior. An example is when all babies look around their surroundings and makes different sounds hiccuping, snoring, crying, laughing and smiling in their sleep, playing or when their mother is talking to them. We see the mutual attachment that the infants have with their mothers. In Namibia, the baby Ponijao was snoring, making sounds in his sleep and then we see how…

    PBS’s “Second Chance Kids” film is about juveniles who commit heinous crime being giving a second chance to get out of prison and start their life over. The reason for the court creating this new law, enabling inmates that were sentenced to life without parole in prison, is to allow for the opportunity of rehabilitation of the juveniles. Sentencing a juvenile to life without parole is inhumane, because takes away any incentive for that individual to rehabilitate themselves. It is also unfair, because as a minor your brain is still developing which causes minors to act irrational or without thinking, so when a teenage commits a terrible crime that should not be able to define the rest of their life. Some commonalities all the individuals considered…

    I first watched this film two years ago when I saw it in the library DVD shelve. I found the concept of babies interesting since they are adorable and tiny, but watching it with a symbolic interaction perspective has given me an insight that I did not have the first time I watched it. Even though all the babies were born to different social environments and economic statuses, the parents wanted their child to be safe and provided what they perceived to be the best basic needs.…
